Here's what's happening for Remembrance Day in Regina
Here’s what events are happening and how Remembrance Day will affect some services in Regina.
EVENTS
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 001 will hold its annual ceremony at the Cenotaph in Victoria Park on Friday.
Sentries will begin to stand guard at the memorial at 10:30 a.m. The parade is set to begin at 10:45 a.m. with the service wrapping up by 11:30 a.m.
In addition to the Cenotaph service, the Legion will also hold an indoor program at the Brandt Centre after a long absence due to COVID-19.
The program is set to begin at 10:30 a.m. and end at around 11:45 a.m.
“Here you can stay warm while remembering the fallen,” the Legion said in its news release.
2022 marks the 80th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid, where a majority Canadian armed force assualted the French port of Dieppe.
The raid resulted in over 3,000 Canadian causalities, but has been regarded as an important learning experience that aided the western Allies during the D-Day landings in 1944.
For those in the public service, an annual Remembrance Day ceremony was held at the Provincial Legislative building on Wednesday.
Premier Scott Moe, Sask. NDP Leader Carla Beck, provincial MLAs and other members of the government were in attendance.
